I'm from South Africa and on holiday in Doha till the 19th Oct.
I would like to do some water sports(jet skiing, etc)this week , but the tourist companies offering these facilities ask a arm and a leg.
Does anyone know where i can do some water sports activities at a reasonable price and what is a reasonable price?

If you hire from the people near the Intercon beach please, please stay away from the sailboats. Some idiots were weaving in and out of the boats last week and actually knocked some kids out of their boat. I wouldn't be surprised if those poor kids never want to set foot in a sailboat ever again.
